Conan and Atticus contacted the authorities to make it so Commander Daizo to be taken away by true authorities to give him what he rightfully deserved.

"You gonna be okay, Dot?" Lucky asked his young owner.

"I... I think so..." Dot sighed.

"You now know that not everything in life is like a cartoon." Lucky said.

"Yes..." Dot agreed, then looked to Atticus, Mo, and Cherry. "How do you all do it?"

"Well... We've had darker childhoods than you have..." Cherry said. "Mo's parents died when she was little, Atticus and I were abandoned at an orphanage until we got adopted... We had a kind man who became a father figure to both of us, but he had died and he remarried a bitter cold woman with her just as evil and selfish daughters... We've seen a lot. I'm a very sad person in the inside..."

"You and me are alike." Raven said to Cherry.

"I suppose you could say that..." Cherry looked back at the half-demon girl.

They all then went out to wait for the authorities to arrive and where Atticus and Mo were going to help Robin and Starfire get closer together so then they could finally kiss. The spell of Brushogun had broken and the Troopers were revealed to not even be real after Commander Daizo was gone.

"Starfire!" Robin ran to the Tamarian girl. "Starfire... Are you okay?"

"I am now." Starfire nodded.

A strike of lightning flashed and it started to rain to wash away the inky remains of the now deceased artist.

'Come on... Come on...' Patch thought to himself, waiting for the two Titan members to kiss.

Robin and Starfire knelt together as the rain dropped on them and washed away Brushogun's remains with the ink.

"I think I was wrong before," Robin said to Starfire. "Maybe a hero isn't all that I am. Maybe I could be... Maybe we can be..."

"Robin?" Starfire smiled.

"Starfire?" Robin looked back to her.

"Stop talking." Starfire still smiled before pressing her lips against his.

"Finally." Patch smiled before seeing his owner and Mo kissing as well.

The others smiled, though mostly the others, to this sweet and savory moment.

"Well, it's about time." Cyborg commented.

"How romantic." Dot awed.

The next morning, Tokyo was praising the Titans and their new friends for their brave and heroic journey. And where they were honored with medals for their bravery and heroic deed. Robin and Atticus were holding Starfire and Mo's hands as they stood together. Many people flooded in with cameras to either get pictures of or with their heroes.

"Well, looks like this is going to be on the newspaper." Atticus smiled.

"This has been the most exciting time of my life!" Dot cheered.

"And it'll continue to be more exciting." Patch smiled.

Beast Boy walked out, rather smugly. "One at a time, ladies!" he told the crowd, expecting his army of fan girls to return to him. "There's enough of B to go around!"

"Oh, brother." Conan groaned.

While fan girls did swarm by and giggled, the others just stood in annoyance and confusion. Cyborg escaped the swarm and saw the chefs return and allowed him to eat all he could again if he wanted to.

"Looks like the chefs aren't mad at you anymore." Conan smiled at Cyborg.

"Good enough for me!" Cyborg smiled. "All right!"

"So, Raven, did you make any new friends while discovering Tokyo?" Forte asked.

"No," Raven said before taking out a pack of gum. "But, I somehow wound up as a mascot for gum."

"Wow." Patch said, surprised.

"I'll be sure to tell my mom about this..." Cherry said about the gum.

Raven glanced down to Raven without her hood on, feeling a close bond with the girl. "So, what do you do?"

"Usually write stories, though sometimes if I'm bored or feel depressed, I write poetry." Cherry said.

"It's true." Atticus said.

"How often are you depressed?" Raven sounded like she could relate to Cherry.

"Too much." Cherry shrugged.

"Hmm..." Raven felt like she could relate.

"This has been one exciting trip." Lucky said.

"I feel unusual about doing this, but I agree with the talking dog." Starfire concurred.

"Nice work." Conan smiled to Atticus and Dot. "Now what are you going to do?"

"I guess go home." Dot shrugged.

"I never expected this to happen, but I'm glad you all had a good time..." Robin actually smiled this time. "We might have to do this again sometime."

"Yeah, but, uh, leave the trouble in Tokyo out of it, would ya?" Patch asked.

This made everybody laugh to what he said.

After the laughing dispersed, Robin offered them each a Teen Titans communicator.

"Oh, you don't have to..." Mo smiled apologetically.

"We insist, and something to remember us by." Robin insisted.

"What do you say?" Atticus prompted his little cousin.

"Thank you, Robin." Dot smiled, very thankful.

"You're welcome." Beast Boy smiled.

Dot hugged Beast Boy and gave him a thankful kiss on the cheek.

"Aw... Why couldn't you be my age?" Beast Boy pouted, but then smiled to the little girl.

"Let's get you all home then." Cyborg suggested.

"Agreed." Mo said.

The Titans and group of friends then got ready to leave.

"I can't believe I got a cousin in Japan..." Atticus said once Conan became Jimmy again.

"Yeah, we got catching up to do sometime." Jimmy chuckled.

"Yeah, maybe the next time I'm in Japan, we'll hang out." Atticus smiled.

"I'd like that." Jimmy smiled back.

The two shared a quick family, almost brotherly hug, then went their separate ways.

"Poor Brushogun... At least no one can hurt him now..." Cherry said as she put her hands in her pockets. "All that trouble for a girl... Who would feel so tormented to do things just to impress one girl, keep her safe, and make sure no one else hurt her or be a threat to her just out of sheer emotion."

Forte looked down to her before looking back away. "I have no idea, Cerise..."

"Now you know that you need to cool down on the trying to keep her safe." Lucky said.

"I just want to tell her how I feel, but I'm scared..." Forte whispered.

"You, scared?" Lucky sounded shocked. "No way! Well, it's true, everybody gets scared..."

"I just hope I can tell her someday..." Forte gripped his arm.

"I'm sure you will, someday..." Lucky comforted him.

The others had left Cherry alone since she said she wanted some time to think about what just happened, however, she was not. Cherry never really cried before, at least, not in public. Every time the others would cry, she usually didn't cry with them, but she said she was sad. This time, since Cherry was alone, for right now, she put her hands to her face and started to cry.

"Do not cry, my dear." Brushogun's voice said as he appeared as a spirit, looking healthier and younger.

Cherry looked up through her red tear-stained eyes.

"What is wrong, my dear?" Brushogun's spirit asked her.

"Just wanted to be alone..." Cherry hugged her knees as she looked quite miserable.

"Aren't you always alone?" Brushogun asked her.

"It feels like that..." Cherry sighed. "I spent my whole life alone until I met Atticus... I know I've made friends and many more, but I still feel empty deep inside my soul."

"You are wanting to find true love." Brushogun said.

"Is that it?" Cherry pondered.

"Yes, true love can fill your heart," Brushogun said. "That's why I used the dark arts those many years ago."

"I don't know anyone who could be my true love..." Cherry frowned.

"You never know unless you look..." Brushogun told her. "They could be right under your nose or they were there all along and you never realized it..."

Cherry looked down with a shrug.

"You haven't realized it yet?" Brushogun asked.

Cherry shrugged.

"I'm sure he's closer than you think..." Brushogun advised. "Don't let your negative emotions keep you locked up forever... I don't want you to end up like me... Just follow what's left of your heart..." he said before vanishing.

Forte walked over. "Cerise?"

Cherry turned her head at him.

"I know you want to be alone, but the others are anxious to get back home right about now..." Forte said. "Are you ready?"

Cherry gave a slow and steady nod. "Yes, Forte..."

"That's good to know." Forte smiled.

"Yeah, I guess..." Cherry said as she walked with him. "Forte... Have you ever been in love?"

Forte frowned slightly. "Once... My former mentor when I was about your age had a niece... She was very shy, quiet, and scared... I often played the keyboard in order to impress her since I was self-taught and I only kept going to my lessons because it was the only way to get away from my rotten brother and sister... I tried to work up the courage to ask her out and one day, I actually found it, however, I knocked on her door and she never answered... I heard bells from the church and saw that she had run off with a different man..."

"I'm sorry..." Cherry said.

"From that day on, I thought that love was useless...." Forte frowned.

Cherry stared at the ground as she walked with him.

"What's wrong?" Forte asked.

"Just thinking..." Cherry shrugged. "Brushogun thinks I might find my true love..."

"You still haven't found him?" Forte tilted his head.

"Not yet... I really wanna know who he is and I wanna know him right now!" Cherry sounded agitated from impatience about her destiny.

"Well, maybe he's closer than you think he is." Forte said.

"You're not gonna get mad when I find out who he is, are you?" Cherry asked.

"I will become overjoyed for you." Forte promised.

Cherry shrugged about that answer as they walked along.

"You ready to go now?" Dot asked.

"Yeah... Let's go." Cherry gave a nod.

"Great." Dot smiled.

Once everyone was inside, they took off on the manta ray like vehicle.

"Hang on tight." Robin told the others.

With that, they were flying up in the sky zone and were flying off back home. The crowd waved as their heroes and new friends were taking their leave.
